I got a promotion last month and it has been such a hard transition. First, I was never properly/formerly trained. Awesome. Then, I had to hire two new people... who start next week. Who will need to be formerly and properly trained. No, it's not 1000 spoons when all I need is a knife, but it is a little ironic (are you singing too? Yeah, I know, sorry.)
And then to top it off, the other day I was told I wasn't very nice. Me?!?! Not nice?!? How can I be nice when on our first meeting you went on and on about being the supervisor of hundreds of people in the past. And how you are the type of person who will come in 30-45 minutes early, relax, have coffee, etc. What if I want to have my coffee at home (although, I don't)? What if I prefer to eat my breakfast at home (also, do not do that)? Really?? We just met! I mean, I do not care for people who have their purses/keys in hand at 5pm, ready to walk out the door like the building is on fire. But did I say that to you? Nope. And why not? Cuz we just effin' met! And I don't like to push my judgements on people within the first sixty minutes of getting to know them.
But despite this, becoming a supervisor has just been tough. My whole need of wanting to be liked, how I often adjust to others needs, and will bend over backwards to make other people happy... yeah, that ish (that's how Kanye says it) don't work when you're a supervisor. Better to realize now.
Anyways, to be continued....
